The little spring loaded,tab is stuck,the only way to make it move is,take a screw driver and hammer,and tap lightly inward on it,should break it loose.
Thanks we'll give it a try
T_S_T wouldn't a hammer and a wooden dowell be safer?
Agree,Bmark,,,lol,,,but i did say lightly. ; )

so does this help, im having same issue with my 2014 charger
Had the same issue with my 2013 300-C. I was at th gas station but i couldnt refuel because the fuel nozzel wouldnt go in. If you look closely, there are two buttons located on each side inside the fuel inlet. The gas nozzel is suppose to push against both buttons and the metal "flap" unlocks
Yes, had the same issue trying to fill with a gas can. Those little tabs are the trick. Push one side in with a screw driver, the other side in with the gas can. Poof, magic, it opened.
Just had the same problem wouldn’t open....turned out it was the fuel nozzle that was incorrect. Went to a different pump (with a smaller nozzle...) went right in.... Idk about the using a hammer and nail but I highly recommend trying to go to a different pump (with a possible smaller nozzle) before hammering your car.
ZZToday this happened to my 2018 Chrysler 300 spring loaded flap would not open to put gas in went to Chrysler dealer and he said he needed to order the part and it would be about a week, cars out of gas so it cant be used, anyhow they gave me a loaner car to use until its fixed.
Same thing happened to my 15 Dodge Durango yesterday. I used my finger and kinda messed with it a bit and it finally opened. Now I’m scared of what’s going to happen when I need gas again.
